Why the Polls are Low for President Bush

"Bush polls have fallen to a new low," shout the newspaper headlines or the news anchors on television. "President Bush and Congress have reached their lowest numbers yet," they continue, trying to speculate whether this is caused by the high gasoline prices, the current economy, or the war in Iraq.

This is strange since there is good news, mostly hidden by the media, about all three.

1. Recently, the U.S. Energy Department announced the results of a land survey: "We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:

2. Our economy is at its best today with unemployment at its lowest in decades and with three million new jobs added!

snip

3. We are winning the war in Iraq and, as I write this, Jawad al-Maliki, an experienced political operator and advocate for Iraq's Shiite Muslims, has won the approval

snip

Anti-Bush information also pours into our homes from the news on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and even Fox News. The latter says that it is fair and balanced, implying that it gives you news from both the left and right political wings. But if TV news is to be balanced, should we not have at least one TV network that tells us only the truth about our country without two commentators spinning in two different directions? Don't we get enough opinion, generally slanted to the Left, from all the other networks?

snip

Polls always reflect not what people think but rather how they react to the news they see and hear every day beamed or tossed into their homes by both television and print.

DiChiFi will oppose a fine older conservative gentleman, Dick Mountjoy, that will get little backing ala Bill Jones against Boxer,, He will get most of the republican support but it will not be enough, that is a reality here, sad to say it. We'll give it the old collegiate try.

Not me. I will be out there voting GOP. I'm not exactly happy with the way they've conducted themselves, but sitting out an election is a mistake. Letting Dems regain control of anything is a much worse fate.

And yet we have fools at this very web site HOPING that that happens.

>>>>No, it will be you who continue to pretend this country is conservative when it's centrist.

You say that with such confidence. You and Bush. Two centrist peas in a pod. We know how you hate conservatism.

>>>>You all are doing a great job of handing power back to the Democrats. Hope you're happy with the results.

Blaming me for the failure of President Bush is more denial. LOL Bush is responsible. Face reality.

This so-called President doesn't know the difference between the first and third world, or so it seems. This ignorance alone has caused me to abandon the Republicans. I may have to vote for the party again, but they'll never get a cent from me again until they regain their sanity.

A lot of angry voters voting for Perot gave us Clinton.

Most people here are...which is why we avoid, like the BLACK DEATH, immigration threads.

Because of the enviro wackos. They put the screws to the damned Dems, more than 30 years ago...hence no more drilling and no new refineries built.

I hate conservatives LIKE YOU, who are content to throw this country away for your purist ideas.

Bush isn't running again.

And one of the reasons he's 'failing' is because for six years you and your ilk have been on his A$$ 24/7 about every little thing you don't agree with.

I would see the environmentalists as the greatest obstacles to be overcome, so pervasive has been their influence and willingness to gum up the works. Those that align themselves with them are not easily shoved aside either, but should be ,imo.

There wouldn't have been a Perot if Bush had not gone back on his word.

Thank you GaryMontana. I'm sick of the blasted game, and can't tell one party from the other most days of the week. The feminists should be happy, because the last few presidents have been female.

And "sending a message" by not voting or voting third party is a colossal blunder.

Look around; there are posters here BRAGGING about doing it.

And come back in 2009; they'll be here, saying the SAME DAMN THINGS they're saying now.

Ask me how I know? Because they've been saying the SAME DAMN THINGS as long as I have been on this site.

Oh, I see, you think ( and I use that word loosely ) that President Bush is a king/benevolent dictator, who can order anything bed done and it is done immediately; not an American president. That really dies explain quite a lot!

And I don't understand why the president is taking all the heat for the immigration problem. What about the past presidents who have done nothing to address it? What about a congress that has done nothing about it for decades?
